FLUX

1,416,871, Specification of Letters Patent.

No Drawing. Application filed December 6, 1919.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. PYLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fluxes, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in fluxes particularly intended for making metal alloys from crude ores.

The invention has for its object to produce a flux consisting of ingredients, which will when added to crude ores during smelting, promote fluidity, and remove the objectiouable impurities, in the form of slag, as is usual.

Heretofore certain metals, viz: zinc, cop per, tin, tungsten, uranium, vanadium and aluminum, could not be brought into metallic form from crude ores, or even treated ores, to make an alloy, and from actual experiments I have found that my improved flux will permit this to he done. It will be understood that when I say crude ores 1 means ores that have never been treated.

Serial No. 343,11 5.

1. The herein described flux consisting of soda, potash, fluorite, sodium chloride, silica, charcoal, Coke, graphite, and carbon.

2. A flux, havingas ingredients soda, potash. fluorite, silica, charcoal, graphite and carbon.

In testimony whereol' l have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

BENJABHN F. PYLE.
